THE CHINA HAIL," "MONDAY, MAY 2, 1955.
KOWLOON CHINESE ARE FLATTERED BY THE MARGIN OF THEIR VICTORY
By I. M. MacTAVISH
The final score in this floodlight match at the Club Stadium yester- day is as misleading as some of the incidents that happened in it are in- explicable. In the end the Chinese were clear winners but for 68 minutes it was a grand game with both sides striving desperately to establish a definite superiority.

Every-man-jack in the Non-Chinese played himself to a standstill and that is true of those who maybe did not quite measure up to the standard of some of their colleagues.
